I'm just scratching my head as to how Moving Pictures can be #20 when it blows 3/4 of that list out of the water. Is it Opposite Day today?

That album is actually incredible imo, def deserves its place in the top 20 maybe even higher. Mindblowingly good. Edited by dougmcauliffe - July 13 2019 at 16:15 |

I’m not a huge fan of it, I like hemispheres a lot better, Tom Sawyer through the camera eye is all great. But the last two songs don’t do it for me. |

It's not my favorite Rush album either (I prefer A Farewell to Kings) but even so it's better than 3/4 of this list. Vital Signs is one of my faves. So quirky in its 80s style. Everybody needs reverse polarity.

Vital Signs is my least favorite from the album. I just don't find it very memorable. Witch Hunt at least has a very cool synth in it.

Look folks. I think our signals are getting crossed. The balance is becoming distorted by internal incoherence.

I wonder if that's where they got the name for their next album(kind of like the "relayer" part on tfto). I will say this though "vital signs" at least sounds like a preview for the next album since it sounds more like something on signals than the rest of MP(imo).

Vital Signs is the Devo's "Whip it!" of prog. I really think you should elevate from the norm here.

If I use an ounce of perception, and speaking of the function and the form, Vital Signs even has that cool octaves jumping riff a la The Knack's My Sharona.

I never noticed. I always considered "my Sharona" kind of an accidental prog song though.

Accidental prog! We can add it to the list of genres < maybe we can finally sneak Gary Numan in there, too > It would definitely be a mood lifter!

Yeah and the Tubes also while we're at it.
 There is prog related though so I don't think "accidental prog" will go over too well. |

Witch Hunt is awesome. The most perfect evocative of mood as well as the best exposition of the confluence of fear and religion. An amazing song in every way. Vital Signs took a while to grown on me, but I now hold it in very high regard as well.
